SUMMARY
You can ditch your cable,
satellite, or phone company's
expensive television service by
receiving high definition
television stations over-the- air
for free (= "cord cutting").

TV STANDARDS AROUND THE
WORLD
• Most of the world does not use the
"ATSC" television standard that we
use in the United States, Canada,
and Mexico as shown in the colored
map at

11
TV STANDARDS AROUND THE
WORLD (continued)
• When buying television equipment
online or downloading television
software for a computer, tablet, or
cell phone, it is easy to accidently
end up with equipment or software
that is not compatible with the ATSC
television systems here in the United
States
![Page 12: OVER-THE-AIR TELEVISIONaztcs.org/meeting_notes/winhardsig/add-ons/TV/ATSC-OTA.pdfANTENNA BASICS (continued) •If your antenna comes with an amplifier or you add an amplifier to an](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050118/5f4f19eb370a5421fd4a08e6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
TV STANDARDS AROUND THE
WORLD (continued)
• If a television device or software
does not have "ATSC" in it's
specifications, it will not work
here in the United States

ATSC
• "ATSC" stands for
"Advanced Television Systems
Committee" and it is sometimes
called "digital television"
• The former "NTSC" standard
stood for "National Television
Systems Committee" and it was
often called "analog television"
![Page 16: OVER-THE-AIR TELEVISIONaztcs.org/meeting_notes/winhardsig/add-ons/TV/ATSC-OTA.pdfANTENNA BASICS (continued) •If your antenna comes with an amplifier or you add an amplifier to an](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050118/5f4f19eb370a5421fd4a08e6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
ATSC (continued)
• According to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT
SC_standards
ATSC replaced much of the
analog NTSC television
system in the United States on
June 12, 2009..
![Page 17: OVER-THE-AIR TELEVISIONaztcs.org/meeting_notes/winhardsig/add-ons/TV/ATSC-OTA.pdfANTENNA BASICS (continued) •If your antenna comes with an amplifier or you add an amplifier to an](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050118/5f4f19eb370a5421fd4a08e6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
ATSC (continued)
• On September 1, 2015, all
remaining low-powered NTSC
television stations in the
United States were either
turned off or converted to low-
powered ATSC television
stations.

18
ATSC (continued)• ATSC uses
8VSB
(8-level vestigial sideband
modulation)
In some software, "8VSB" is used
as a configuration selection instead
of "ATSC" so be sure to select
"8VSB", if you are given a choice
when configuring a TV or software
![Page 19: OVER-THE-AIR TELEVISIONaztcs.org/meeting_notes/winhardsig/add-ons/TV/ATSC-OTA.pdfANTENNA BASICS (continued) •If your antenna comes with an amplifier or you add an amplifier to an](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050118/5f4f19eb370a5421fd4a08e6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

ATSC (continued)
• Dash nomenclature in FCC
assigned call signs
-TV means "television station"
-LP means "low power station"
-CA means "Class A low power"
-DT means "digital television"
-HD means "high definition"
-SD means "standard definition"

20
ATSC (continued)• RF channel number
and
RF channel frequency
and
FCC assigned call sign (K* or W*)
and
FCC assigned virtual channel
number (= PSIP channel number)
are the same for all sub-channels
![Page 21: OVER-THE-AIR TELEVISIONaztcs.org/meeting_notes/winhardsig/add-ons/TV/ATSC-OTA.pdfANTENNA BASICS (continued) •If your antenna comes with an amplifier or you add an amplifier to an](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050118/5f4f19eb370a5421fd4a08e6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
ATSC (continued)
• "PSIP" means
"Program and System
Information Protocol"
This information consists of a set
of tables that is constantly
transmitted by every ATSC
television transmitter.
![Page 22: OVER-THE-AIR TELEVISIONaztcs.org/meeting_notes/winhardsig/add-ons/TV/ATSC-OTA.pdfANTENNA BASICS (continued) •If your antenna comes with an amplifier or you add an amplifier to an](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050118/5f4f19eb370a5421fd4a08e6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
ATSC (continued)
• The "PSIP virtual channel" and the
"PSIP virtual subchannel" is
displayed by set top boxes, TVs, and
software in one of four formats:
12.1, 12-1, 12-001, or 12001
• When television viewers say
"channel", they usually mean the
"PSIP virtual channel" and the "PSIP
virtual subchannel"
![Page 23: OVER-THE-AIR TELEVISIONaztcs.org/meeting_notes/winhardsig/add-ons/TV/ATSC-OTA.pdfANTENNA BASICS (continued) •If your antenna comes with an amplifier or you add an amplifier to an](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050118/5f4f19eb370a5421fd4a08e6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
ATSC (continued)
• The "PSIP Short Name"
is usually also displayed by set top
boxes, TVs, and software:
Can be up to 7 characters.
Some software and some of the
cheaper set top boxes display the
"PSIP short name" in the channel
field or instead of the "PSIP channel
and PSIP subchannel"

STEP 2 DETAILS: PILOT TEST
• Borrow or rent a television set (or a computer with a television tuner) and perform an on-site pilot test to check television reception at your location.
• Build a simple "stick antenna" if you do not already have an existing television antenna.

ANTENNA BASICS
• Place the antenna on the side
of your house that is nearest
the transmitters of the
television stations that you
wish to receive.

50
ANTENNA BASICS (continued)
• With the exception of the
simple stick antenna (which
you can build), most antennas
are directional (even if the
manufacturer claims that it is
omnidirectional)
![Page 51: OVER-THE-AIR TELEVISIONaztcs.org/meeting_notes/winhardsig/add-ons/TV/ATSC-OTA.pdfANTENNA BASICS (continued) •If your antenna comes with an amplifier or you add an amplifier to an](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050118/5f4f19eb370a5421fd4a08e6/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
51
ANTENNA BASICS (continued)
• Use the RF channel of a
television station instead of the
(displayed) virtual channel to
determine if you need an antenna
that emphasizes VHF or UHF
reception:
![Page 52: OVER-THE-AIR TELEVISIONaztcs.org/meeting_notes/winhardsig/add-ons/TV/ATSC-OTA.pdfANTENNA BASICS (continued) •If your antenna comes with an amplifier or you add an amplifier to an](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050118/5f4f19eb370a5421fd4a08e6/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
52
ANTENNA BASICS (continued)
• If your antenna comes with an
amplifier or you add an amplifier
to an existing antenna, the
amplifier needs to be placed as
close as possible to the antenna
(with as short a run of coaxial
cable between the antenna and
the amplifier as possible)
![Page 53: OVER-THE-AIR TELEVISIONaztcs.org/meeting_notes/winhardsig/add-ons/TV/ATSC-OTA.pdfANTENNA BASICS (continued) •If your antenna comes with an amplifier or you add an amplifier to an](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050118/5f4f19eb370a5421fd4a08e6/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
53
ANTENNA BASICS (continued)
• Use RG 6 coaxial cable instead
of RG 59 coaxial cable, since
RG 6 has much lower signal loss
![Page 54: OVER-THE-AIR TELEVISIONaztcs.org/meeting_notes/winhardsig/add-ons/TV/ATSC-OTA.pdfANTENNA BASICS (continued) •If your antenna comes with an amplifier or you add an amplifier to an](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050118/5f4f19eb370a5421fd4a08e6/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

55
ANTENNA BASICS (continued)• When your power adapter or your
cable going to your power adapter
or your amplifier (if there is one)
fails, you will be unable to receive
any television channels.
However, you can use the antenna
without the amplifier as follows
(while waiting for replacement
parts to arrive):

56
ANTENNA BASICS (continued)
• Using your amplified antenna
without the amplifier will usually
reduce the number of television
channels that you can receive:

58
ANTENNA BASICS (continued)
• For each "channel", your television
set needs to receive a signal from
-5 dBm to -65 dBm
("dBm" =
"decibels relative to a milliwatt")

do so.)

INTERFERENCE ISSUES OF
MULTIPLE ANTENNAS
• When we placed next the Mohu "Sky
60" near an Antennas Direct
"Clearstream Eclipse" antenna, the
two antennas interfered with each
other unless we provided at least 11
inches of separation between the
edges of the two antennas AND kept
them in the same vertical radius
relative to the earth.

166
INTERFERENCE ISSUES OF
MULTIPLE ANTENNAS (continued)
• When we placed the Mohu antenna
above the "Eclipse" antenna (with
11 inches of separation), both
antennas worked well when we
turned to "SkyHD" horizontal
relative to the ground and the
"Eclipse" was in its normal vertical
orientation.
